The optimum values for the section variables like channel side
slope,bottom width,depth and radius for triangular,rectangular,
trapezoidal and circular channels are computed by minimizing the cost
of the channel section.Manning &rsquo / s uniform flow formula is treated as a
constraint for the optimization model.The cost function is arranged to
include the cost of lining,cost of earthwork and the increment in the
cost of earthwork with the depth below the ground surface.The
optimum values of section variables are expressed as simple functions
of unit cost terms.Unique values of optimum section variables are
obtained for the case of minimum area or minimum wetted perimeter
problems.
